Q: How do you handle stressful situations and working under pressure?
A: The first job I ever had I got paid $3.35 an hour to mop puke (and worse) out of a McDonald’s bathroom. All jobs since then have paid more and were far more fun. Any time I feel stress at work I think this is still more fun than that.
Q: What was the first Grateful Dead song to really flip your wig?
